if you get a chance too, can you post a pic of how you cut the body for the wing mounts to pass through? i hacked a square hole in mine, but sure it could have been done cleaner.

I cut an uneven square on mine. Easier to remove the body.
Mine too, and dremel rounded the edges to reduce cracking.


Didn't work :lol:

Hmmm... I did my other car this way too. Was pretty easy. Body drops right on.

You can only stop the cracking around the top of shock tower by not crashing. :mrgreen:

I thought the big, not so square, dremel rounded edged hole was easy? It shouldn't create cracks, :lol:

Its from donkey flips... and that happens cus you use spark throwers! :lol:

I'll take 2 thin slits over a big odd shaped hole anyday! :mrgreen:

I think it looks better, :)

Very neat and excellent painting skills! 8)

Did you notice a performance gain with the reversed tower?

I don't know... The maiden voyage will be this week. Going to try it both ways and with the longer shocks. But I already know that the angle of the big bores is better in relation to the a-arm angle with the shock tower reversed.

This is a very cool car!

But I'm itching for a pic of the inner front camber link mounting setup with the flipped tower. Or is that top secret? 8)

Its not top secret, I just need to take it off and do a little dremeling to it to make it better looking. Its still a little rough... Hoping to have that done tomorrow or the next and will get pics posted up here. It was really simple though, :)

I thought that question would have come up much sooner, you would think I would have had a faster response for it, LOL.
